Xdebug finally in Debian
Since a few days, there is a new package in Debian: php5-xdebug . After a few years of talking licenses, due to the help of Martin Meredith and François Marier Xdebug can finally be installed with apt-get. See the synaptic screen shot as well:

Thanks a lot Derick, it will just make it simplier to convince sysadmins to install it without braking their setup ;)
Cheers! Yann
Yuppee!!
I was wondering why it was not available just a couple of days ago. Care to say which version is available, and for which deb platform? packages.deb.org does not report it...
@Gaetano: It's Xdebug 2.0.3, for Debian unstable.
Yes,
Thanx, it's now easier and quicker to install.

Which line have I to set in my /etc/apt/sources.list to access this package directly in apt-get ?
Just this one will do: deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
